A Testimonial
“Every student I met carried themselves with a sense of purpose. They weren’t just academically driven, they were deeply engaged in the world around them. The conversations I had helped me see that Georgetown wasn’t just a place where I could excel academically, it was a community where I could grow and become a better version of myself.”
Student Voices
“Georgetown has given me opportunities and spaces to not only rediscover my passion for medicine but also redefine what it means to be ‘pre-med.’”
“I was in the GSP office every day. When I was with that community, it felt like Georgetown was built for us. It’s the most robust support system that I’ve seen specially designed for first-generation and low-income students.”
“I think it was a combination of structural factors of me growing up in poverty and seeing how unfairly people can be treated. Coming to Georgetown, I saw how numbers and real theories can help alleviate that.”
